FAQ

What is a zine?
A zine is a collaborative fan project, in which fans for a certain piece of media or a certain theme come together to create content. It includes art, writing, and sometimes accompanying merchandise, whether it be physical or digital.
What does P4P (Pay for Production) mean?
P4P means that there will be no profits made from this project, and that the purchase price will cover the production and shipping costs of the zine and merch. In this case, the purchase price will also take the cost for contributor copies into account as well.
How will contributors be compensated?
All contributors will receive a digital copy of the zine. In addition, we would like to provide the contributors a physical copy of the zine and merchandise, including shipping. Since this is a P4P zine and no profits are being made, we will be factoring this as a cost to the final prices. Further information and a breakdown of costs will be provided when pre-orders open.
Can I post my work to social media/sell my work?
During the zine production phase, please refrain from posting your progress on social media. You will be able to post previews of your piece (30%) during zine pre-orders. Further instructions and a template will be provided when the time comes. All our creators are welcome to post their work once the zine concludes. A more specific date will be given once the zine is in its production phase. You own and retain the rights to the work you produce.
What type of content will be featured/is allowed?
This zine will feature SFW, canon and general content from the series.
+ This zine will not feature any ships
+ General series content (S1 or S2 canons)
+ SFW only
How will the shipping be handled?
Shipping costs will vary depending on your location. We will provide further details during pre-orders. Packages will be shipped from the United States.
Do I need to have experience to apply for the zine?
For Contributors, no previous experience is necessary!
Will there be a reprint of Volume 1?
We will put out a survey prior to pre-orders to determine the feasibility. If there is enough demand, we will do a reprint of Volume 1.
How many contributors will be accepted?
We will be accepting about 20 artists, 5 merch artists, and 8 writers. This number is subject to change based on our contributor applications.
Are previous contributors from volume 1 allowed to participate again?
Yes, previous contributors are allowed to submit an application. We will be reviewing all contributor applications equally.
Will there be a digital version of the zine?
Yes, the digital version of the zine will be published once our leftover sales shipping has concluded. You can find the digital version of Volume 1 here!
If you still have an unanswered question, feel free to leave your question on our Retrospring.
